Features retracting landing gear, rotating wheels/props, three man crew, optional position door and two survivors in life rafts. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. NOTE: Instructions have bug damage but are usable. Box is 'poor' because both short side panels are missing.
